Tonight on the Strike Season Podcast, we break down the NAACP’s new “Out of Bounds” campaign and what it could mean for college athletics across the South.
The NAACP is calling on Black athletes, families, fans, alumni, and consumers to reconsider athletic and financial support for public universities in states accused of weakening Black voting representation following the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais. The campaign specifically targets powerhouse athletic programs in Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and Georgia — states with programs generating hundreds of millions while debates over voting rights intensify.
Will this movement actually impact recruiting, NIL, ticket sales, or fan support? Could HBCUs in those same states benefit from this moment — or could they also face unintended consequences?
We’re diving into:
The NAACP “Out of Bounds” campaign
The future of Black athletes at SEC and major public universities
How HBCUs could be affected
Softball tournament upsets
Dr. Jo taking shots at Troy’s Florida State Seminoles
NBA Playoff reactions and storylines
And much more!
